Program Description
Event Details
In this hand-on workshop we will discuss how to turn the fruit of the oak tree (the acorn) into an edible food. We will be processing acorns with a few different methods (pounding and cutting) to get the acorns open, then we will be picking out the nut meat with nut picks. After this is done we will go through steps to grind them into a flour. The presenter asks that all participants wear closed-toed shoes. We will discuss methods for collection, processing, preserving and detoxifying, as well as methods to consider for forest management to yield more acorns.
